The number of minutes that would pass before they were 1870 feet apart is 5.47 minutes

  • Since one student runs at a speed of 180 feet per minutes, in time t minutes, he moves a distance of d = 180t.
  • Also, the second student runs at a speed of 160 feet per minute, in time t minutes, he moves a distance of d' = 160t.

Since they are initially 10 feet apart, their total distance apart after t minutes is D = d + 10 + d'

D = 180t + 10 + 160t

D = 340t + 10

<h3>Number of minutes before they are 1870 feet</h3>

Making t subject of the formula, we have

t = (D - 10)/340

Since they are 1870 feet apart after t minutes, D = 1870 feet.

t = (D - 10)/340

t = (1870 - 10)/340

t = 1860/340

t = 5.47 minutes

So, the number of minutes that would pass before they were 1870 feet apart is 5.47 minutes

Find the lowest common denominator of and . A. x3y4 B. x2y3 C. xy4 D. x4y5
Blizzard [7]
Lowest Common Denominator refers to lowes t common multiple. These expressions have two terms 'x' and 'y' and we want to choose the expression that has the highest power such that the other expressions can be multiplied into the common denominator.

For the 'x' term, the highest power is x⁴ and for the 'y' term, the highest power is y⁵

Common denominator of A, B, C, and D: x⁴y⁵

Help! this is in algebra 1
Scrat [10]

Answer: I have the pictures attached


Step-by-step explanation:

In order to graph this, we have to get it into this equation: y = mx + b, where m = slope and b = y intercept.

y = 3/2x - 4 is already in this form.

2y + 4 = 2 + 3x is not, so we have to isolate y

2y + 4 - 4 = 2 + 3x - 4

2y = -2 + 3x

2y/2 = -2/2 + 3x/2

y = -1 + 3/2x

y = 3/2x - 1

Okay, now graph it knowing your y intercepts and your slopes.

X^2 -9X = 0. Factor and use the Zero property to solve
Veseljchak [2.6K]
The first step of factoring is to try to factor out a common factor.
The terms x^2 and -9x have the factor x in common.
Factor out x from both terms.

x^2 - 9x = 0

x(x - 9) = 0

Now you have a product of fully factored terms equaling zero, so you can apply the zero product property to solve.

x = 0   or   x - 9 = 0

x = 0   or   x = 9

Answer: x = 0 or x = 9
